Fluttershy and The Mask

by Shazam 25

Night Three

Celestia's Sun rose over Fluttershy's Cottage again. Fluttershy roll in her bed when a knock was heard on her door.

"Fluttershy!" A voice call out.

Fluttershy roll in her bed again and open her eyes to see the mask laying right next to her. It spook so much she fell out of the bed trying to get away from it. She pick herself up and heard the knock again.

"Fluttershy! Are you home?" The same voice said again.

Fluttershy eyes widen, it was Twilight! She had to hide the mask. She grab it and flew down stairs looking for a hiding place. She flew to her closet and open it only to be greeted with tons of bits. She was shock for she remember using the mask to make a huge withdraw. But not the whole bank. Fluttershy started to push the bits back in not wanting Twilight to see them.

She heard the knocking again and said, "I'll be right there!"

The knocking stop and Fluttershy push all the bits back inside and threw the mask in before closing the closet door then flew to her front door to let Twilight in.

"Morning Twilight." Fluttershy said trying to act normal.

"Morning? Fluttershy it's 1 in the afternoon." Twilight said.

Fluttershy yawn to cover her surprise. She got to start taking off the mask earlier so she can get some sleep.

"Really? Well, what brings you here?" Fluttershy ask.

"Where were you last night?" Twilight ask.

"Here, mostly. Why?" Fluttershy answer then asked.

"Well, last night me and the girls went with Princess Luna to the club and we saw the Green Mare." Twilight said.

"Green Mare?" Fluttershy asked.

"Yeah, for some reason she act just like all six of us and even asked Luna to dance with her." Twilight said.

"Really?" Fluttershy asked surprise.

"Yeah, she then disappear after the owner Slaw was arrested. Luna kept him in the dungeon even when we discover he was the one not behind the Bank Robbing and claim that she stole from it." Twilight said.

Fluttershy couldn't stop her eyes from widen in shock. She did steal but she didn't mean to. She just wanted to get in the club. She very much wanted to return all the bits, but was afraid that she might be arrested.

"Princess Celestia and Luna wants to met the Green Mare but something tells me you know her." Twilight said again.

"What make you think that?" Fluttershy asked.

Twilight held up a piece of her mane and said, "During that night I found some of your mane at the club and believe that you know her somehow."

"Um...", Fluttershy was lost, but quickly thought of something, "She an old friend of mine."

"An old friend?" Twilight ask.

"Yes, we were fillies when we met and she move away before I went to Training Flying Camp and I never heard about her until a few nights ago." Fluttershy said.

She didn't like lying but she didn't want her friends to think she was weird and a stealer.

"Well you think you can have her come and meet the Princesses?" Twilight asked confused about the story she was told.

"I'll work something out, how about tonight at the Castle?" Fluttershy said then asked.

"I'm sure Celestia would stay up to met her." Twilight said.

Fluttershy nods and said, "Well, I'll write a note to her telling her that the Princesses want met tonight."

"Sure, I'm going to look into the bank robbing. I'm sure the Green Mare had a reason for it. She looks harmless." Twilight said before waving and leaving.

Fluttershy wave back and shut the door. Once she did, she zoom back to her closet and grab the mask. The Princesses wanted to met her? And she said yes and made it tonight?! What was she thinking? Acting fast she grab her saddlebags, place the mask in and rush after Twilight. Maybe she can help Twilight see the green mare was a friend and doesn't mean trouble. She only hope she will understand.

---

Twilight made it to the bank when Fluttershy rush in move as fast Rainbow. She couldn't stop in time and crash into a pile of papers she must have made last night. The others walk up and Rainbow turn to Twilight.

"Who was that?" She asked.

Before Twilight could answer, Fluttershy pop out of the pile and dizzily walk up to her friends. She shook it off when Rarity spoke up.

"Fluttershy? Since when did you move as fast as Rainbow?" She asked.

"Move as fast as Rainbow? What do you mean?" Fluttershy asked confuse.

"Fluttershy, you just zoom right pass me and crash into those papers and you never notice how fast you went?" Twilight said each for them with surprise looks on their faces.

"Um.." Fluttershy try to think of something. She never did notice her flying was fast.

"Never mind. You send the note to your friend already?" Twilight said then asked.

"Yes, she will be there tonight." Fluttershy said.

"Friend? What friend?" Pinkie ask.

"Fluttershy is friends with the green mare and she say that she could do something for the Princesses and her to met up." Twilight explain.

"Hey Fluttershy! Nice crash!" A Pegasus call out.

"Yeah for some so shy she's easy meek!" Another said and they laugh.

What happen next took all of them by surprise.

"Now you listen here! I may be shy but I have lots of kindness! If you think I'm going to stand and take your witty remarks, then you thought wrong! Now leave before I really get mad!" Fluttershy shouted at them.

The two pegasus back off and left. Once they did, Fluttershy floated there in shock. She hasn't done that since she took Iron Will's lessons.

"Wow Fluttershy! That was awesome!" Rainbow said flying up to her stun friend.

"Fluttershy when did ya start sticking up for yourself?" Applejack ask.

"I don't know, I haven't been myself lately." Fluttershy admitted.

"Hm, why do you go home and get some rest, after all you look really tried." Twilight said.

Fluttershy thought that was a good idea. Maybe a nap is what she needs before meeting the Princesses as her mask form will help her out. Fluttershy nods and flew back home, this time slower.

---

After looking over the bank, Twilight return home to look over the mask Fluttershy had when she pull out of the river. She also found it strange that the green mare appear on the same night after Fluttershy went home with the mask. She should have ask for it, She thought about sending a letter to the princess but wanted to look for some info first. Spike walk in carrying a few books for her and set them down.

"So, Twilight, What with all this books? Princess Celestia having you do a test?" Spike asked.

"No Spike. You see two nights ago me and the others found Fluttershy in the river after she got throw out of the club and she had a mask with her." Twilight said.

"What so importing about a mask?" Spike ask.

"Well, that the same night the green mare appear and I believe she and Fluttershy are closer then I think." Twilight said setting one book back down before looking through another.

"Yeah I heard about that mare, but was does the mask look like?" Spike said then ask.

"Well it was green and look to be made out of wooden with a metal bar and some bots in between the eyes." Twilight said.

"You mean like this?" Spike asked, holding up a book with the mask Fluttershy had.

Twilight gasp and took the book out of his claws and started to read about it. Spike land on the floor and shook the dust off him when he got up. Then heard Twilight gasp even more.

"What wrong Twilight?" Spike ask.

"Spike listen to this, A powerful mask was created long ago to try to imprison a god being name Loki the god of Mischief but only Loki power was seal inside the mask. Loki was powerless without his powers and was banished from his home. The mask was declared to dangerous and had to be destroyed but Orin had the mask lock away so nopony could find it. It said whoever wears the mask will grain Loki powers and have the power to do what they want." Twilight said.

"So?" Spike ask.

"So Fluttershy has a mask from this legend and she could hurt somepony because of the power of a god inside the mask." Twilight said.

"But what does it have to do with the green mare?" Spike ask again.

"I believe that the green mare is part of the mask and I'm started to think that the green mare and Fluttershy are the same pony!" Twilight said.

This time Spike caught on.

"Then that means Fluttershy was the one to help the CMC's and rob the bank?!" He said.

"It not her fault, the mask must have made her that way. If Fluttershy keeps using the mask too much it could really hurt some pony." Twilight said.

"You think we should tell the princesses?" Spike ask.

"We'll tell them when we get to Canerlot because Fluttershy said she'll met them there tonight! The mask must only work at night." Twilight said and got ready to head to Canterlot.

After all she spend all day trying to find about the mask Fluttershy had, unknowingly she was being ear-drop by a griffin who heard everything.

---

Night had fallen and Fluttershy was at the castle. She walk around waiting until the night did rise from Princess Luna magic. She sat down and open her saddlebag. Inside was the mask and Fluttershy was thinking about putting it on.

"No, no, This is crazy!" She said and close her bag.

She was about to leave when she ran into Princess Celestia and Luna.

"Fluttershy! What are you doing here?" Luna asked.

"Oh, I heard that you wanted to met my friend and I just come to make sure you met up all right." Fluttershy said.

"You know the green mare?" Luna asked again.

Fluttershy nods.

"That is very thoughtful of you Fluttershy, but when is she coming? I heard from Pinkie that you send her note about coming to visit." Celestia said.

"Pinkie told you?" Fluttershy repeated.

"Yes, your friends, minus Twilight, are here to talk to the green mare as well." Celestia said.

"I see." Fluttershy said before looking at her saddlebag.

"Is something wrong Lady Fluttershy?" Luna ask.

"Oh no, nothing.", Fluttershy said, "Well my friend could be here any second and I better go."

Fluttershy turn and flew off. Celestia spotted Fluttershy reach into her saddlebag and pull out what look to be a green wooden mask before she disappear around the corner.

"Fluttershy!" Luna call out and was about to go after her before hearing a tornado and see a green and black one come out of the same corner Fluttershy went to.

Fluttershy stop in front of the Princesses wearing a dress that rivals Rarity's style.

"Hello Princesses." She said and bow.

"You are the green mare we been hearing about?" Celestia ask.

"That me! but really 'The Green Mare'? I heard better." Fluttershy said making the name appear above her head.

Both Princesses was a little weird out on how the mare made the name 'The Green Mare' appear above her head. They knew Pinkie can do weird stuff but this mare took it to a whole new level.

"So where the party?" Fluttershy asked, appearing right behind them and place her hooves around their necks.

That weird out the Princesses even more. But they remain calm.

"Follow us, we will take you there." Celestia said and watch as Fluttershy bounce behind them.

---

Deep in the dungeons, Slaw sat in his cell, he was clear of robbing the bank but he was still stuck inside.

"Hey boss!" Came a whisper.

Slaw stood up and saw Cliff at his door.

"Well, Cliff? What you found out about that green mare?" Slaw ask.

"You won't believe it, but it turn out that mare you had me threw out two nights ago, is the green mare that hit the bank before we did." Cliff said.

"Is that so?" Slaw ask.

"Yeah and I made a discover about something you might want to hear." Cliff said.

"What that?" Slaw asked.

"Ever heard of a god name Loki?" Cliff asked.

---

Fluttershy and the Princesses walk to the throne room where Fluttershy friends were waiting for her.

"So, I take it a welcome party." Fluttershy said as they stop by the door.

"Yes, Pinkie will throw parties for anypony." Luna said.

"Also we must ask, why did you steal from the Ponyville bank?" Celestia ask.

This caught Fluttershy off-guard. For a split second she look like her normal self before kneeing and putting her hooves together and give them the biggest puppy eyes she could.

"Oh forgive me, I want to go to the Club, but I had no bits. I didn't mean to steal from the bank but it was night and I wanted to go but I plan on returning them but I'm afraid to be seen as a thief instead of a pony trying to fit in-in-in-in." She said, crying at that the end.

Celestia look at the mare and could see the truth in her eyes. In fact when she look close she saw Fluttershy eyes as well.

"I understand. But tomorrow, you must return the bits back to the bank and never do this again." She said.

Fluttershy jump up and said, "Cross my heart, hope to fly. Stick a cupcake in my eye."

"Good now it time to hear more about you." Luna said and they walk in.

No soon then they did, they saw all the castle guards there and pointed their spears at Fluttershy.

"Hold it right there!" One said.

What happen next scare all of them. When Fluttershy scream in surprise, her skull pop out of her head and her eyes and tongue pop out of her skull before all them went back to her face. The guards recover and kept their spears at Fluttershy.

"You're coming with us!" One guard said.

Before the Princesses could fix this misunderstanding, Fluttershy come up with a wild idea.

She jump forward and said, "Hit it!"

Then somehow lights turn on and one shine on Fluttershy. This time Fluttershy was wearing a black hat that cover her mane and a blue shirt with a red scarf. The some music started playing from nowhere and started dancing before singing.

"They call me Cuban Neat. I'm the queen of the rumba beat.
When I play the maracas I go chick-chicky-boom, chick-chicky boom
Yes sir, I'm Cuban Neat. I'm the craze of my native street.
When I start to dance, everything goes chick-chicky-boom, chick-chicky boom."

"The seniors they sing and they swing with their sombreros,
It's very nice, so full of spice.
And when they dance in they bring a happy ring,
El maraquero singing' a song, all the day long."

As Fluttershy sing and dance the rest of the Mane Six, minus Twilight who still didn't arrive, push through and saw Fluttershy.

"So if you like the beat, take a lesson from Cuban Neat
And I'll teach you to chick-chicky-boom, chick-chicky-boom."

Fluttershy walk up to one of the guards and wave her hooves at him. Then as if he was giving the gift he started to sing.

"She's really a modest girl, although she's the hottest girl
In Havana, in Havana."

Fluttershy pop out from behind him and place her hooves on his shoulder before taking the lean again.

"Si, senior I know that you would like to chicky-boom-chick
It's very nice, so full of spice.
If place your hoof on my hip, and if you will just give me your hoof
Then we shall try - just you and I. Aye-aye-aye!"

The Princesses and the Mane Six watch as he guards started to dance and sing along with Fluttershy.

"So if you like the beat, take a lesson from Cuban Neat
And I'll teach you chick-chicky-boom, chick-chicky-boom, chick-chicky-boom!"

Then all the guards but one stood in a line and started to dance shouted 'Hey!' every few times. Pinkie even join in. After doing that for a while the started to dance a lot differently than before with Fluttershy saying few words they couldn't make out, Until the end.

"Shake Your Booty, Daddy, Wow!
See ya!"

After Fluttershy said that she ran off with the only guard snapping the others out of their time.

"Snap out of it! She getting away! Come on!" He shouted.

The Princess and the rest of the Mane Six follow after them hoping to stop this before it got out of hoof.

Fluttershy pop out of the corner and look around.

"Ayi-I-I-I!" She said before moving away, running into another guard.

"What the...?" He said.

"Hello nurse!" Fluttershy said, kissing him and ran off.

Fluttershy ran down the hall of the castle and hid behind a pillar. She threw off her hat and reach for the back of her head and started to take the mask off, the Princesses and the rest of the Mane Six was able to find another way and saw what the mare was doing. They watch as the green fur coat turn yellow and her blue shirt disappear. They saw the black mane turn pink and what was left of the green turn into a wooden mask as her face try to stay with it but soon the mask of was off and they saw who the green mare really was.

"Fluttershy?!" The Mane Six nearly shouted.

Celestia and Luna was just as surprise. How did Fluttershy come across an item like that? Before they could even try to understand it Twilight appear and call out to Fluttershy.

"FLUTTERSHY!" She yell have her turn to them.

"Come on Fluttershy! We need to go somewhere to talk! I know about the mask!" Twilight said surprising them.

Seeing that Twilight knew, she quickly ran over to her and Twilight teleport them away.

"What just happen?" Rainbow asked.

"For once, we don't know Rainbow Dash." Celestia said.

---

Inside Twilight's home, Twilight told Fluttershy about the mask and where it come from.

"A god? This mask has powers of a god?" Fluttershy asked surprise.

"Yes, Loki the god of mischief. But Fluttershy why? Why are you wearing the mask every night?" Twilight said then asked.

"I...I don't know.", Fluttershy said, "Every time I put on the mask I feel like a new mare. Like I can do anything, be anything."

"Fluttershy you don't have to wear a mask to be somepony. You are yourself mask or no mask." Twilight said hugging her friend.

"Guess I got to tell the others huh?" Fluttershy said.

"I think they saw you take the mask off so you just gotta explain." Twilight said.

Fluttershy nods before Twilight was jump by a Diamond Dog and was pin to the ground. Fluttershy saw what happen and reach for the mask hoping she can use it to save Twilight, but a Griffin appear and pull Fluttershy away as more Diamond Dogs and Griffins show up. Fluttershy watch as another Griffin pick up the mask. Fluttershy remember him from the mask eyes. He was owner of the Colt Filly Club.

"So this mask has powers of a god." Slaw said looking it over.

"What? How you know that?" Twilight said trying to push the Diamond Dogs off her.

Slaw turn and said, "I have to thank you for that. You see I had a spy trying to find everything about your green friend and I must say I didn't expect your friend to have amaze powers though she waste it with little things when it can be used for more."

"What?" Twilight ask as Fluttershy stood frozen in shock.

Slaw turn to Fluttershy and knee down to her.

"So, Fluttershy. How does this work?" He ask her.

Fluttershy didn't say anything because she was still scare. When a Griffin grab her neck, she talk.

"I don't know. You just...put it on." Fluttershy said out of fear.

Slaw stood up and look at the mask. Like the time Fluttershy fond it, glow like it was asking to be worn. Slaw slowly lift to his face as a thundercloud appear above him. Once Slaw put the mask on his face the thundercloud cover him and everyone cover their eyes. When they open their eyes that saw Slaw with the mask in his face. Unlike Fluttershy, who turns in a green mare with a black mane and tail and no cutie mark, Slaw became bigger and bulkier his wing were now metal and his claws were as sharp as knives. His face was cover in the green from the mask and his eye glow red.

"What a rush." He said his voice sounding different the before.

"Boss, you ok?" One Diamond Dog ask.

"Never better!" He said.

"What about them?" Cliff pointed to Fluttershy and Twilight.

"Well, first I want to know where my money is then I have a nice trip for you two in a dungeon cell." He said laughing.

Fluttershy couldn't believe it. She should never had brought the mask with her and just explain what was going on. Fluttershy lay her head down and cry. This was her fault.

Author's Note:

Well that not good! Not only I change the Lyrics of Cuban Pete, which by the way I ask for some to send me a better one of you don't like this one, but I remove the park scene beginning for two reason. One, Fluttershy doesn't have a love interest and two, while I like the scene where the picture of the cop wife in it, I decide not to added it in. Next chapter Slaw put his plan into action with the mask and Fluttershy explain to all her friends why she wearing the mask. Then the Club scene from the movie and yes I'll have Fluttershy fight Slaw without the mask on both of them because some else will wear the mask once Slaw remove it. Who? Feel free to guess. There are 8 guesses and the first seven don't count.
